Your people truly are your number one asset. People make companies successful; companies do not make people successful. The people within a company can take bad ideas and fix them and they can take great ideas and expand them. Studies show that proper job fit improves engagement and job satisfaction resulting in increased productivity. Negative factors such as stress, tension, conflict and costly employee turnover diminish with proper job fit.
Employee assessments can be one of the most useful tools for helping your organization grow and prosper. Unfortunately, many business owners and managers get so busy they fail to use these assessments. Most executives think assessments are only pre-employment tests and don’t take advantage of assessments to improve their organization.
Assessments are helpful in the hiring process but they are also valuable throughout the employee engagement process. Assessments are available to help with things such as team analysis, sales compatability profile, customer service compatability, leadership performance, and many other important areas.
If you haven’t used assessment tools in your organization you might find them to be very valuable. There are many good companies in the assessment field with Profiles International being the largest.
